Sister Mary Joseph nodule as the only sign of silent caecal adenocarcinoma

Sister Mary Joseph nodule is a nodule localized in the umbilicus which represents a cutaneous metastasis from a primary cancer, mostly localized in the abdomen.We report the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented with an ulcerated umbilical nodule. Imaging identified it as a Sister Mary Joseph n...
